I’m surprised that the death of the 98 year old mother, one day after the police raid, hasn’t been questioned; surely having police officers squabble with you is a much higher level of stress than normal?

But how do you prove causation?

Criminal: Reasonable doubt certainly exists whether they scared her to death or not.

Civil: Yes, but when an 98 year old in poor health dies you don't win much in a civil case.
